That is a mistranslation. It wasn't cinnamon buns, it was hetvägg, a type of cardamom bun swimming in sweetened hot milk/cream.

14 cinnamon buns would be rookie numbers

    They are really good. Just make sure the cardamom is mixed in well.

    Do you suppose he was trying to be the King of Sweets, too?

    A time-traveler, too? At that mass? Oofda.

    Didn't you know? All kings are time travelers. ESPECIALLY the Swedish ones.

    Ohhh, that's what No Kings is really about? That makes so much sense now.

    Yeah, lots of anti time travel sentiment in the US population.

    They have a hard enough time denying the details of their own history WITHOUT people just going to see for themselves!

    I should've known that you, of all characters, would be familiar with atypical time manipulation. I mean, c'mon. You've an ironic anachronism (separated by centuries, no less) as your whole username. 😋

    I've been called much worse 😁

    For my encore, I'll juggle the simultaneous beliefs in pacifism, that collective punishment is wrong, and that the guillotine for all billionaires is a moral imperative😉

    Joking aside, though, my username is actually quite apt: I'm a big bearded guy from Denmark and I'm also a far left anti-authoritarian pacifist (with certain exceptions to the rule such as the above one) 🤷🏻

    We're not too dissimilar, geophysically aside, it would seem. No note, other than Mr own personal preference to spell "moral imperative" in that context as "civic duty", instead. Also, for fertilizer; it's a wiser solution than simply eating them as the old saying goes, and the crops will reward us all!

    Yes, and to add: hetvägg is the precursor to the modern semla, which is probably pretty much a national dish here now.

    The traditional hetvägg is equally if not more delicious though, although quite a bit more involved to make.
